The Future Will Be Sown – Milan Design Week 2024
Body Ornaments
Over several months now, we’ve made unexpected discoveries by establishing new relationships with our ecologies. Immersing ourselves in unfamiliar landscapes, traveling to the source of a raw material, exploring indigenous practices, embracing storytelling, and fostering new friendships, have contributed to a dramatic turn in our perception of how design can both belong to a place and innovate itself. Stepping into uncharted territories as architects,
The Future Will Be Sown – Milan Chapter,
makes us courageously wear our vulnerabilities and insanities, quite literally.
Six ecological materials,
Six wearable ornaments
have meticulously emerged from
six different landscapes in Southern India. These have each been crafted
together with communities deeply rooted in their regions, cultivated over time.

Made In Earth Collective
We are a team of architects and artisans, based in Bangalore and belong in the Kaveri belt.
Our work is rooted in our materials. We promote an architecture that is closer to people,
the environment and the resources of a place. We work with natural building materials and
techniques with a taste for experimentation and innovation. Together with clay, lime and stories
from our region, we indulge in conversations between the obvious and the obscure, the community
and the craftsmen, between the material and the maker. We yearn for buildings that are gentle
and are always looking to plant the next fig tree.
